Background/Objectives: Building upon the rising value of Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (CLE) in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck, we present the first application of CLE during the resection of sinonasal malignant melanomas. This study aims to evaluate the potential of CLE to assist surgeons in intraoperative decision-making, with a particular focus on resection margin assessment within the constrained nasal cavity. Methods: Two cases of sinonasal malignant melanoma were included in this study. CLE was employed to examine visible tumors and their margins, both pre- and post-endoscopic resection. The findings were compared to histopathological results as well as data on squamous cell carcinoma, for which malignancy criteria had already been established in prior projects. Results: CLE provided the real-time visualization of sinonasal malignant melanomas and their margins, successfully differentiating between healthy and neoplastic tissue compared to histopathological findings. Conclusion: CLE offers the potential for real-time assessment, aiding surgeons in more precise tumor resection and potentially improving patient outcomes. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using CLE in the resection of sinonasal malignant melanoma, highlighting its ability to differentiate between healthy and neoplastic tissue intraoperatively.
